GAS-BURNER TIP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 366,527, dated July 12,1887.

Application filed August 13, 1886. Serial No. 210,776. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDDY T. THOMAS, a

citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city, county, andState of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement inGas-Burner Tips, of which the following description, in connection withthe accompany ing drawings, is a specification, like letters on thedrawings representing like parts.

The object of this invention is to provide a gas-burner tip of suchconstruction that the parts thereof may be struck up from sheet metal bydies or molds, the tip being in two hollow sections, which may be verycheaply manufactured and which can be separated when it is desired toclean the burner.

Figure 1 shows one of my improved gasti s. or barrel 0. Fig. 3 is anenlarged tip, showing the formation of the slot d,- and Fig. 4 is aninside view of section t, showing the formation of the enlarged hole orconcave at the top of the burner.

A, Fig. 1, shows my improved tip, consisting of two hollow sections, Zand f, between which, at the upper end of the tip, is the slot (Z,formed by offsetting or reeessing the metal 'at the upper ends of thesaid sections at the time the blank is made in the mold, press, or cutafterward. The slot (1 is for the gas to es cape from when in use. Iform lugs m and corresponding recesses, a, on the contiguous edges orfaces of the sections, these lugs and recesses serving to prevent onesection from being forced below the other when the tip is put in thebarrel or pipe. I also form in my dies ridges to indicate the size ofthe-burner. (Shown by lines 0.)

A, Fig. 2, represents the tip when in the barrel or pipe 0. The roundwalls of the tip and barrel being tapered, the sections of the tip areforced together as the tip is pressed down, so that no gas can escapefrom the see Fig. 2 shows-the tip as held in the pipe tional line 6except at d, which is for the purpose of allowing the gas to pass out.

A, Fig. 3, is an enlarged tip, and shows the offset or depression, toform the slot (1, to be on one section 75, instead of being equallydivided on both, as in Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 shows the enlarged hole or chamber of the tip at 1), formed bysetting the top of the metal off, as at s. This allows more space in thehole at P, causing the flame to spread in an even and round shape, andchecks the gas from spreading at the lower part of the burner. This isan important feature in all tips provided with the slot.

I intend to manufacture, by the aid of dies and forms, my tip from sheetmetal; but, aside from metals, I may mold the sections from clay, glass,or earthy substance, which will make a practicable tip, as it can bereadily seen that the tip can be produced by this method at a very lowcost.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A gas-burner tip consisting of two longitudinal hollow sectionshaving lugs and recesses at their contiguous edges or faces forpreventing one section from slipping on the other, substantially as setforth.

2. A gas-burner tip consisting of two longitudinal hollow sections, thefaces of which are contiguous or abutted, one section having a recessand the other a lug at their contiguous edges, and one or both of thesections being offset from the dividingline between the said abuttedfaces at the top to form a slot, (1, for the escape of the gas,substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses.

EDDY T. THOMAS.
